Welcome to a forest trail that will take you through beautiful scenery to an outlook area that’s hard to resist. Grab those hiking shoes, because you’ll definitely need them. If you’ve been looking for a great way to spend the day outdoors, this trail is the perfect length to keep you busy while you learn a bit of history and take in all the amazing scenery. Bookmark this spot for later travels, because it’s beautiful year-round.
Welcome to Tuxachanie Trail in De Soto National Forest, a spot near Saucier, Mississippi that we'd never take for granted.
The trail measures 12.6 miles from one point to another, but every mile is something beautiful and unique, changing in sections to reflect the natural biodiversity of the area.
Mississippi doesn't have much in terms of elevation in general, but we count a view like this as an overlook all the same. Once you come out of the trees, this scene creates the same effect for us as any other high-up view we could have.
There is such a varied amount of life in the area, from the mushrooms and wildflowers to the animals that might be a little hard to spot. Keep an eye out, and your camera handy!
Another great purpose of this trail is to educate, and signs along the path go over the history of the land and local mill town. You can learn about the timeline of events including the mill, lumberjacks, and turpentine while you hike!
Though the trail is rated as an easy hike, sometimes the paths are a bit tricky. Make sure you have sturdy shoes and are prepared for a bit of plank walking, because there are a few spots where you'll need to use it. Happy trails!
